Or do you mean, what time should I be getting up? in which case studies how that is very much a person to person - as is the amount of sleep a person needs to function. Night owls and Early birds are both biologically sound concepts, (I'm a 4am starter, but thats the only quiet time I get to do my LP's) but timings are person by person, so anyone trying to sell a perfect sleep cycle is a opinionated fool.

I was actually wondering about both, thank you for telling me!

It's possible, but you don't do it by whacking stevia and xylitol in the boiler. I believe it's more of a simulated fudge than a conversion of the recipe and process.

I’ll do some research and see what can be done. Bear in mind my equipment consists of a few pans, a spatula and a thermometer- Fudjit is based from my home, rather than any sort of site with industrial or advanced equipment.

the UK might get a discussion about that in short order... the new points-based system is very generous on highly qualified English-speakers, of that dread politically-conscious middle-class professional sort, and of course people from the British Commonwealth are already entitled to vote (and run!) in UK elections

I suspect many Conservative voters are not quite aware of the sharp liberalisation of their party on the question of immigration targets

I note also that eg Nigeria and India have a whole load of English speakers. Possibly not what Mrs Blue Rinse of Tunbridge Wells had in mind...

Wasn't the crux of India agreeing to a new trade deal with the UK post-Brexit, that the UK would offer up a larger number of work/study visas?
That didn't get much attention at the time because whoo-boy that wouldn't have gone down well with the Leave crowd

Like I've seen various SNP-adjacent lefty folks post this for years as a reason why it's ok to vote for the centrist melts - dont worry guys as soon as we get independence there will somehow come into existence a Left-SNP that's actually socialist!

That isn't guaranteed. You actually could just end up with centrist melt dominance forever.

So what exactly is achieved by having 600+ people in one big room that couldn't be done remotely? Other than braying "hrurrhrurrhrurr!" over the Opposition speakers during Prime Minister's Questions.

Has there ever been a case where an MP was so swayed by another's oratory that they changed their mind and voted the opposite way to what they'd already intended/been told to by the whips?

Does it normally have nuts in?

I admit I don't actually like turkish delight because I don't like the rose flavour, but I do like the texture and I like those jelly sweets you can get with the same consistency, though they're often a bit overpowering with the synthesized flavourings. I might be tempted to try making my own with like, a natural lemon juice flavour or something. It looks easier than I thought.

I do wish they made nougat without nuts though, the chewy stuff is nice but the only nut I like is almonds and even then only sometimes.

If you could do 'tablet' that would be good. I'm not so keen on fudge (but if someone puts it in front of me I'll eat it), but a good flaky tablet I do like.

Usually sprinkled with chopped pistachio or served with a pistachio flavour one that's green and may or may not have pistachios inside.

The big question, which nobody seemed to want to have a serious discussion about on the electoral stage, was whether free movement is a socially positive form or immigration, or whether it's just a way for capital to move workers around who are less likely to be aware of their rights and can't vote locally.

The 2019 Corbyn attempt to square that circle, to end free movement but allow any worker to register to vote, predictably ended up fueling far right nonsense about the foreigns undermining are democracy than it did being honestly communicated to the electorate about why this would benefit all workers.

It comes down to trust. Ordinary British workers are people who like their country, are at best live and let live to minority groups and who generally expect the government they vote for to represent their interests. They will never trust a person who tells them that actually they are less important than other people.

I suspect that literally no country’s population would vote to support strangers over themselves. This is probably where we ITT have drifted away from the British people. Objectively speaking we are right. But if we can’t get a majority behind us, who cares that we are right?

Also on the ‘to be scienced’ list. I actually made vegan tablet by accident when I was experimenting with vegan stuff back in January. Tasted coconutty due to the base ingredients, but was really nice.

My Nan used to give me those as a kid.

They sometimes seemed to have some weird long, thin, pointy thing inside them. Like someone had pushed a needle into the middle of the bar but it was edible and just felt terrifying in your mouth for a moment. Ones I've bought myself on the odd occasion since I was a kid have never caused the same sensation and sometimes I wonder if my Nan was just feeding me sewing needles in chocolate for shits and giggles.

And there are two types, Irish made and British made Turkish Delight. I think its just different ingredients, not sure about taste.

Most confectionary has different recipes in different countries to suit local tastes. Cadburys Dairy Milk in Egypt is very sweet - apparently it tastes like Hershey Bars. UK uses less sugar.
